Work in Paper Space and Model Space
You typically design your drawing in model space and prepare it for plotting
in paper space. The environment you use to lay out and prepare your draw-
ing for plotting is a close visual representation of the final plot. At the bottom
of the drawing window there is one Model tab and one or more layout tabs.
Model space can be accessed on the Model tab by making a viewport on a lay-
out tab current, or by entering model on the command line. The Model tab
is where you spend most of your time creating and editing your drawing.
When you are on the Model tab, you are always working in model space. If
your drawing does not require plotting multiple viewports, you can plot your
drawing from the Model tab.
